Studio Touya is a handmade pottery studio located in Seagrove NC where Hitomi and Takuro Shibata set up studio and built Japanese style wood kiln. Our focus is to make simple& functional pottery by using local wild clay and wood firing technique. We named our pottery as "Touya" when we started our small pottery studio in Shigaraki, Japan, and it literary means "pottery house" in Japanese which we really like.

SESSION 1 · JUNE 12–24, 2022

Practical & Traditional Japanese Pottery Making Techniques

Creating utilitarian pottery with practical and traditional Japanese pottery techniques is the focus of this workshop. Hitomi and Takuro have been making their handmade pottery with local materials in Shigaraki, Japan and Seagrove, NC for many years. Learn how they approach such natural materials, and how they combine materialistic ideas and traditional Japanese techniques. It will inspire your creativity and help foster new ideas for your work. We plan to fire gas and salt kilns (cone 10 and up) during the workshop. All levels welcome.
